The days passed by slowly, since there was hardly anything to do. Hour by hour drifted by and finally the night arrived. Pacing through the masses of crates and cardboard boxes, he wondered what to do next. There was no way to get it into Gotham without anybody noticing. There must be some other crime lord around here. Then the idea struck him. Oswald Cobblepot! How could he have forgotten master criminal strategist who did have a reputation with Batman? Maybe if they worked together they would be able to defeat him. But where would you find a criminal strategist? Where would you look? There were only so many high-class places and too many places where any criminal would go.
The high-class places would be harder to get into. Such as the Gotham City Millionaires Club, the Winnie Coto Country Club, The Blue Heron. And then there were the easiest places, where all the criminals could be seen lurking around in the shadows. Park Row would be a good place to begin, but most people didn't call it Park Row, it was known as Crime Alley. Park Row used to be a tremendously nice neighborhood and was very desirable real estate back in the twenties. Today it is a slum and a cesspit. It was there that the famous Wayne murders took place.
He walked out onto the docks, quietly shutting the warehouse door behind him. The old dock creaked as he walked through the several warehouses. The lights from overhead flickered which gave the scene a dramatic effect. As he approached the dark alley also know as Crime Alley, he looked around. He looked somewhat out of place, most criminals were big, strong guys and he was still the calm, weak villain who didn't intimidate anybody. But that didn't matter; he just needed to convince Cobblepot to help him defeat Batman.
